3.8 Example 8: Client Cannot Connect to a DFS Service

This example demonstrates extension 1 of the use case described in section 2.5.2.1.

The admin client tries to establish a connection to the Distributed File System (DFS) Service to create a namespace and does not get a response from the DFS Service.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites are described in [MS-DFSNM] section 1.5.

Initial System State

None.

Final System State

None.

The following sequence diagram shows the steps for the RPC bind calling context of the DFS Service.

Sequence of Events

  1. The admin tool uses the identified server to request that the admin client binds the RPC calling context.

  2. The admin client initiates the bind operation by using the procedure ([MS-DFSNM] section 2.1).

  3. The admin client does not get a response from the server. After the admin client waits for a time-out period, it sends the error message to the admin tool.
